To the unitholders of RJO Global Trust:
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of R.J. O’Brien Fund Management, LLC, the managing owner of RJO Global Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), has been conducting a consent solicitation campaign to amend the Trust’s Ninth Amended and Restated Declaration and Agreement of Trust, dated as of September 1, 2010, as amended, to reflect a minimum net worth requirement to be maintained by the Managing Owner of $50,000, instead of $1 million (the “Proposal”). Please refer to the Consent Solicitation filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and mailed to you on or about May 21, 2012 for more details about the Proposal.
The Trust has received a favorable response from the individual unitholders who have submitted their consent. However, significant additional participation is necessary to approve the Proposal as fewer than 50% of the outstanding units have responded. As such, the Trust will extend the consent solicitation period until July 30, 2012 in order to solicit additional consents to the Proposal.
The Board recommends that you submit a written consent “FOR” the Proposal.
